Hello guys,
I am new to allen bradley systems, and I have question about access to M0 and M1 data file.
I have SLC 5/03 processor, with prosoft MVI46-DFNT Ethernet module.
From my understanding, the client request to MVI46-DFNT, the SLC 5/03 transfer data from internal database to M1 file and MVI46-DFNT reponse to client. I believe data flow is using serial DF1 through Ethernet TCP/IP interface.
However, I am not clearly understand:
1. At the client side, what kind of data type I should expect to receive? Would it be M file or regular registers(like B and N type)?
2. If that is M type, is RSLinx the only software can process the M file?
Because I read a post said the prosoft MVI46-DFNT is not able to communicate with wonderware. However, as long as both client and server driver can read DF1 through TCP/IP, should it be fine?
Unless the server is responding the M file, and the client can not read the M file. This situation will cause a problem?
Is there any Allen Bradley expert could give me some advices or correct some of my statement? Because I am not sure I am in the right directions.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
